The Real World
My comment, just now, over at Real Muddy, er, Clear, Politics:
Ruthie: “In the real world…”
The nanosecond that phrase is used, it reveals that the user imagines that he (or Ruthie, in this case) is imbued with some special perception, which common folk, like everyone who disagrees with her, is not capable of understanding, but must simply comply because she said so.
Whenever you see anyone use the phrase, “in the real world”, be assured, that author is most certainly not aware of what it means to live in this world.
